"What happened?"
Chen Yan turned his head and looked forward, and asked at the same time.
At this time, he was walking on the right side of the transport vehicle with Li Fengnian and Qin Yourong.
Brothers Yao Shan and Yao Yun were on the left side of the transport vehicle.
Gu Yuze and Cong Jing followed behind Xu Qinghe and were responsible for clearing the way ahead.
There were no personnel arranged at the back of the transport vehicle because it was in the direction of the zombie tide and there was no point in arranging personnel at the back.
Originally, Chen Yan wanted to take Qin Yourong to the front to open the way. After all, he was the only level five awakener in the small group. Opening the way was relatively more dangerous. He was stronger, so he could naturally be more calm when facing emergencies.
But the others in the small group disagreed.
Considering that he was only stronger but actually lacked experience, the people in the small group simply stopped giving him special protection.
But if he planned to carry out a more dangerous mission, that would be a disaster...
"It's unclear at the moment. We've already arrived at the survivor camp controlled by the Brotherhood. According to the plan, we should make our final replenishment at the survivor camp, then immediately turn around and head west towards the area controlled by the Kahn Company.
But now it seems that our plan may need to be adjusted. Because outside the survivor camp ruled by the Brotherhood, there seems to be a large number of combat personnel gathered. The entire camp seems to be under martial law and no outside survivors are allowed to enter.
Xu Qinghe's voice came from the external earphones of the smart bracelet.
The transport vehicle sped up slightly, and Chen Yan and others also quickened their pace. After a while, they arrived next to Xu Qinghe, Gu Yuze and Cong Jing.
Then Chen Yan saw a settlement that was larger than the Blackthorn Camp appear in his sight.
However, at this moment, outside the front exit of the settlement, there were two or three hundred people standing scattered together.
Because they are not standing in a neat row, it is difficult to determine the exact number at a glance.
With the appearance of Chen Yan and his group and the all-terrain transport vehicle, two or three hundred people immediately became alert.
However, among these two or three hundred people, less than one-tenth of them have guns. Therefore, they only look aggressive on the surface, but in fact they are full of cowardice.
"Did you run away from the Blackthorn Camp?"
Just as the situation on the field was becoming obviously tense, a man walked out from the opposing crowd.
The man met the gazes of everyone in the small group, behaved quite calmly, and asked in a loud voice.
"We're not from the Blackthorn Camp. We're just coming from that direction and were planning to enter your camp for a simple resupply. But now it seems... you don't want anyone else to enter the camp for the time being. So we're going to give up the resupply and continue on our way."
Xu Qinghe replied in a deep voice.
The man narrowed his eyes, his gaze lingered on the all-terrain transporter for a moment, and a slight change appeared on his facial expression.
The greed in his eyes flashed away, and his gaze fell on Xu Qinghe again, and then glanced at the other people in the small group, with a hint of fear in his expression.
Because except for Li Fengnian, everyone in the small group was fully armed at this time.
'Eclipse' rifle, pistol, and combat uniform are standard equipment.
Although there are few people, since they can use the "Eclipse" series of energy firearms, it means that all members are awakened.
Coupled with the added power of the 'Eclipse' series of energy guns, the man pondered for a moment and immediately felt that it would be foolish to rashly become an enemy of such an elite-looking team just for a transport truck and the things loaded on it.
So he took a deep breath, suppressed his greed, and continued, "I'm so sorry, but we have an urgent mission and need to go to the Blackthorn Camp. As you can see, our camp is not very large. With so many people leaving at once, the camp will be quite empty."
Therefore, for the safety of the survivors in the camp, the entire camp will be temporarily closed until we return. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait here. We will be back soon and we can trade with you then. How about that?
Before Xu Qinghe could speak, Chen Yan stepped forward and asked curiously, "Can I ask you a question? What is the urgent mission you gathered so many people on?"
The man looked at Chen Yan in surprise, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Xu Qinghe first.
When the man found that Xu Qinghe did not respond to this sudden interruption, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
But he still replied, "It's no secret. Since you came from the direction of the Blackthorn Camp, you should know that the entire Blackthorn Camp is in chaos. Because the Blackthorn Company that governs there has undergone a major change.
We actually received the news yesterday, but in order to confirm the specific situation and avoid misunderstandings, we spent some time investigating. After all, Blackthorn Company is our most steadfast ally in the vicinity.
Now that our allies are in trouble, we certainly can't sit idly by, so we've decided to go immediately to help them restore order and get the Blackthorn Camp back on track as quickly as possible to avoid further losses!"
Looking at the man's righteous expression, Chen Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips.
You're really lying with your eyes open...
The Brotherhood and the Blackthorn Company are clearly in a competitive relationship. The reason why they received the news yesterday but only gathered their forces and prepared to go today is obviously because they are worried that the chaos in the Blackthorn camp may be a trap set by the Blackthorn Company.
After confirming that Blackthorn Company really had a big problem, he immediately decided to rush over with armed personnel. The purpose was naturally self-evident.
The Brotherhood definitely intends to take advantage of this opportunity to directly annex the Blackthorn Camp!
However, they were unaware that the zombie tide had already broken out, and heading south this time was tantamount to suicide...
Of course, even if I didn't head south to the Blackthorn Camp, I would still die here, just a little later...
"Then I wish you success. We're in a hurry, so we won't stay any longer. Supplies aren't essential anyway, so it's better if you have them, but it doesn't matter if you don't. We still have to go to other settlements to do business."
Chen Yan said casually.
The man bowed and said, "Are you a new merchant on this route? I've never seen you before, nor a caravan like yours. Once the situation stabilizes here, you're welcome to visit more often. We need whatever goods you have."
Chen Yan immediately bowed and replied, "No problem."
